The Professor
Gregg Pollack
Gregg is most passionate about taking complex topics and teaching them in the most efficient way possible. He's helped build a few technology companies including Envy Labs, a Ruby on Rails consultancy in downtown Orlando, and Code School (where you are right now). He also runs Orlando's yearly BarCamp, the Orlando Ruby Users Group, and Orlando Tech Events newsletter. Hobbies include theatre, dance, podcasting, Game of Thrones, good scotch, learning how to run a business "the hard way", and using way too many commas in a single paragraph (apparently).
Enroll yourself or your team in Code School and get unlimited access to all courses, Code TV screencasts, build your report card, and more.

A great way to learn Rails 3.1. I look forward to more courses. Biggest drawback though is the jingle...it's stuck in my braaaaaaain.

The production quality of this series was terrific. I liked the advanced topics and the insight on the Rails 3.1 features a great deal. My only complaint would be that the last session seemed to have too many new things thrown in at once and I lost track of what I was supposed to focus on.
